Course description
This course is taught using lectures and exercises. Assessment is based on a set of tutorial questions (answers due 1 week after close of the workshop) and a take-home exam (due I month after close). The course will expand on concepts learnt in Health Economics and Evaluation & will explore some of the more advanced methodological issues inherent in economic evaluation of health care interventions. The course will focus on practical application with particular attention devoted to the usefulness & limitations of cost-effectiveness analysis as a technique of economic appraisal. The lectures/tutorials for this course will be taught in a block of 5 days and students must be available to attend every day during that period. This course may not be offered if the enrolment is less than 10 students. Enrolment is limited to 25 participants.
